Vehicle and plant hire

Framework No: 0121

About this framework

Framework period: Now extended to 20 August 2026

Scotland Excel’s vehicle and plant hire framework covers the hire of vehicles and plant equipment on a variety of hire periods to supplement the existing fleets of our members.

As with all our frameworks, this framework was developed in close consultation with key stakeholders. It is fully compliant with all legislative requirements and was developed in line with Scotland Excel’s sustainable procurement approach.

Note that the following information on benefits relates to the original contract award and some of the awarded suppliers did not take part in the extension period.
